I’m not much of a myspace user myself, but when I am there I am rather appalled at the [lack of] quality that a lot of myspace users seem to enjoy displaying on their pages. Hey, just because you have some graphics that look great means that they look great together! That’s where pagefetti.com comes in.

Pagefetti provides a wealth of Myspace layouts, backgrounds, graphics, generators, comdes, pimps, animations, and tweaks. Just about everything you need to give your page a new look that won’t blind your visitors or crash their computers. Don’t believe me? Check out the samples they have displayed right on their main page. Very nice and not at all garish. I would highly recommend that you check out their Myspace layouts, for sure.

What makes this site even more appealing is that it’s all free and there is no registration required. It’s also not limited to Myspace either, they have plenty available for Blogger and Zwinky profile pages well. Plus a fun little toolbar that you can use to find new free stuff.

As for the glitter and animations, they have those too. But remember folks, too much of a good thing can be bad, so try not to go too crazy with all of their fun and cool graphics.

I really cannot stress this enough folks, if you value your site’s content then Back It Up. I’ve read two different blogs today where the owners stated that they were installing some new plugins and widgets and somehow lost everything and now are stuck having to start over from scratch. There really is no need for this!

On a regular basis you really should go in and back up all of your site’s files and store them somewhere other than on your computer’s hard drive, because if your computer experiences technical glitches then you’re in the same boat. Some good choices are to use discs, thumbdrives, or external hard drives. Obviously if your content is fairly large backing it up on one of these can get very pricey pretty fast, so a good alternative is online storage. One place that I would recommend checking out is IBackup.com they have an easy to use interface that allows your online data to appear as a folder on your computer. It is set up in a manner similar to Internet Explorer browsers so it’s easy to understand and use, and it allows for simple drag and drop. Easy as pie.
